A heavy uniform chain lies on horizontal table top. If the coefficient of friction between the chain and the table surface is 0.25 s, then the maximum fraction of the length of the chain that can hang over one edge of the table is
- 0.2
- 0.25
- 0.35
- 0.15
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
W=$f_L$......(i)
But from figure
$W=\frac{M}{L}yg$ and $R=W'=\frac{M}{L}(L-y)g$
So that
$f_L=\mu R=\mu\frac{R}{L}(L-y)g$
Substituting these values of W and $f_L$ in eqn.(i),
we get $\mu\frac{M}{L}(L-y)g=\frac{M}{L}yg$
or $\mu(L-y)=y$ or $y=\frac{\mu L}{\mu +1}=\frac{0.25 L}{1.25}=\frac{L}{5}$
or $\frac{y}{L}=\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{5}\times100%$
$ =20\%$
Top Questions on laws of motion
The driver sitting inside a parked car is watching vehicles approaching from behind with the help of his side view mirror, which is a convex mirror with radius of curvature \( R = 2 \, \text{m} \).

Concepts Used:
Laws of Motion
The laws of motion, which are the keystone of classical mechanics, are three statements that defined the relationships between the forces acting on a body and its motion. They were first disclosed by English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton.
Newton’s First Law of Motion
Newton’s 1st law states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion until and unless a net external force acts on it.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Newton's 2nd law of motion deals with the relation between force and acceleration. According to the second law of motion, the acceleration of an object as built by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Newton's 3rd law of motion states when a body applies a force on another body that there is an equal and opposite reaction for every action.
